About John O'Reilly and Amie Eubanks

Our 'family' , two couples who have been friends for over twenty years, love the beach, sunshine and sharing our newly purchased home with all of you. The white sand beaches sold us on this area, since we see a lot of 'white', snow that is, as we are from Colorado. We hope you enjoy our home, relax and make many great memories.

John O'Reilly and Amie Eubanks purchased this House in 2013

The house was great. Kitchen had everything you needed and was clean. Bathrooms were great and clean. Beds were comfortable. Parking was great could fit 2 cars with no problem and with extra room. Furniture was comfortable and there was plenty of room. Plenty of space for dining as well. The WiFi and tv programming was great. Many options. The house was kind of “loud” and by that I mean you could hear everyone walking around the house. No way could you sneak up on someone, lol. It’s the laminate floors for sure, creaky and just doesn’t absorb sound. I just wasn’t used to that. But I wouldn’t let that deter me from renting again. The location was ok. It is in the back of the neighborhood so I wouldn’t want to walk to beach but biking wouldn’t be so bad. Overall I loved the home and would rent again. Thanks for sharing your home

Cute community, house needs work, issues with management company

1/5

The community, Old Florida Village is very cute and nice overall. This house is in the VERY back of the community, making it the farthest from the beach and pools. It's described as "walking distance" but that's a stretch for those, like us, with small children.

Upon arrival at this "non-smoking home" we were hit with a very strong smoke smell. So bad that both of our children ended up sick while we were there. We called Southern Vacations (management company) & they said they'd bring an ionizer to clean the air. Requested 3 times & they never brought it.

Most of my issues with the home are with the management co. not the owners of this home. However, they could spend a couple hundred dollars to make thishome much nicer. The beds are so uncomfortable- my college dorm mattress was nicer! The doors were falling off the laundry closet, one mattress squeaked very loud when you sat on it (so loud it woke our baby up), the doors upstairs were so squeaky when we'd put our kids to bed at night, they'd wake up as soon as we left the room. Southern did drop off a can of WD-40 and my husband sprayed all the doors.

Our first afternoon there, our toddler's feet were black from walking on the floor downstairs. We were forced to go to the grocery and buy ceaning supplies to clean the house (Southern did refund this). After mopping the floor five times, our Swiffer's were still black. The rest of the house was gross too but the first floor was disgusting. Management company did send a cleaning lady the next day and she did a great job. I asked if they planned on refunding our cleaning fee and they said they didn't feel they needed to because they addressed the situation the next day. Ridiculous. After going back and forth they did finally refund the cleaning fee. That's exactly how I wanted to spend the first two days of my vacation- calling and texting back and forth with Southern addressing issues that should have been handled before we arrived.

We specifically got this house because of two things- washer and dryer and a grill. The first time we tried to use the grill, the propane had been left on and was completely out. Southern did bring a new one the next day. Washer and dryer worked fine but had to re-wash everything when we got home because everything in the house smelled like smoke.

After the first few days, some issues were addressed & we were able to enjoy the rest of our trip, but I would not rent this home again or any home managed by Southern

Owner's Response:

We appreciate you taking the time to give us feedback. We will investigate your concerns with our management company. A clean home is expected. The floors were steam cleaned in May, as well as, the house is cleaned after every guest. An inspection is done before each new check in arrives.

We have never heard of anyone smoking in our house, as, we prohibit smoking within the property.

We are glad Southern assisted you during your visit with an additional cleaning day and gave you a refund.

We loved it everything was awesome can’t wait until next year

We liked the house, location, and neighborhood. However, the house needs a lot of attention. The property management company is not maintaining proper upkeep of the home. When we arrived the cleaning crew was leaving, but the house was filthy. Numerous cleaning issues and a few maintenance issues. The house need a thorough cleaning and all the maintenance issues addressed. In addition, the beds were uncomfortable and the linens were not that great. We enjoyed the stay, but for the price we've stayed in much cleaner and better maintained homes. With proper attention and addressing the numerous issues this rental has great potential.

Thank you for taking the time to review our house. We have addressed the concerns with the management company. The house is followed up after every check out to ensure it is in great, working condition for the next guest.

We take these reviews seriously, as we want all of our guests, to be comfortable and relaxed for their time at the beach.

Wonderful time!
